48 • THE AUSTRALIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT YEARBOOK EDITION 23
LEADING EDGE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The benefits of mountain biking to a local community
are endless, with increased community engagement and
enjoyment; business opportunities; increased participation in
recreational activity; the ability to attract a dedicated mountain
bike market; and economic benefits at a grassroots level, as well
as for the broader regional and state economies.
The trail was built by World Trail and its Director, Glen Jacobs.
Great attention to detail has been used in the design and
construction of the world-class, purpose-built single trail. The
twists and turns of the stunning track tie in with the enormous
granite slabs, dense-fern tree forests and breathtaking scenery of
the surrounds.
Trail names include Devilwolf, Dambusters and Krushka's,
which provide reference to the amazing history of the area,
while others like Flickety Sticks, Berms and Ferns are indicative
of the fun and excitement to be had. The features of the trail
are both constructed and natural, with an amazing set of
switchbacks called Twisties sitting alongside stunning rivers
and waterfalls, a memorial overlooking the town, and odd relics
placed here and there that hint at the town's mining past. This
is no ordinary track -- there is a multitude of things to discover
along the way.
Watson says, 'Watching this project crystallise into reality has
been so rewarding. The [commitment] from the community and
all staff members has been unbelievable, and each person has
gone above and beyond, which has contributed to the success
of Blue Derby'.
The funding from the government has benefited this project
in a number of ways, and has really helped make Blue Derby a
must-see destination in Tasmania.
